3M™ Acrylic Plus Tape WT4112 is a good choice for attaching EPDM/TPE components such as gaskets and seals. It features two adhesives, one on each side of a viscoelastic acrylic foam core, designed for robust performance even on complex contours and difficult automotive paint surfaces. A heat-activated adhesive forms an immediate bond to EPDM/TPE materials. Core provides stress relaxation when exposed to high application loads and maintains tight bond-line aesthetics under normal conditions.
For Durable Attachment of Weatherstripping and Gasket Seals to Modern Paint Systems
Developed specifically for attaching gasket and weatherstrip seals in automotive applications, 3M™ Acrylic Plus Tape WT4112 features our heat activated adhesive formulated for an immediate, consistent and durable bond to EPDM/TPE materials. This adhesive delivers high initial tack, rapid build and excellent final adhesion without the use of an adhesion promoter, and resists temperatures up to 203°F (95°C). The E2 adhesive is applied to the non liner side of a 1.2 mm viscoelastic acrylic foam core, which provides excellent conformability and wet out that helps maintain seal integrity. The liner side of the core features our pressure sensitive adhesive for bonding to a range of rigid clear coats, MVSS, powder coats and other mar and scratch optimized auto paint systems. The black color of this OEM approved tape helps create sharp bond lines. The polyethylene liner is silicone coated on one side, suitable for heat bond tabbing.
Confidence in Your Purchase
The 3M branded liner features a subtle 3M logo marking to provide evidence to the customer that they are receiving the 3M quality they expect from their purchase. The liner makes our tapes easy to identify and difficult to imitate. This proprietary branding technology is designed to help identification of 3M™ Acrylic Foam Tape.
